Dear Mr. Enierga, please pass this along to your friend for me.  Thanks.  :)

	Well one man's treasure is another's junk.  There are people who
like Privateer and people who don't.  I say it's awesome and you say it
sucked.  (shrug)

	I disagree.  Origin apologizes to no one in regard to Privateer.
Having stayed up there at CGW's 10 currently most played games list for
a year already (it was released late in 1993 if I am not mistaken) The
game ran with good performance (frame rates, disk access speeds, etc) and
as indicated by the polls, has a large following.  So I don't think Origin
has anything to be sorry for at all in releasing Privateer.

	I do agree, however, that Pacific Strike is indeed a disaster; it
never made the 10 current list and was blasted by editors from the moment
it was released because of its poor performance even on hot-rod machines.
As was shown by the polls, it was never accepted by the gaming public, in
this case I do think Origin has something to apologize for (which they did).

	But as I said before, most of their other recent games (e.g.
Strike Commander-- and I have the floppy version and never had any problems
with it, Armada) has a following also, and have been polled as being some
of the most-played games for a while as well.  Origin doesn't have to
apologize to anyone else for these either.
